Though she knew not why Kagome was standing between her and Naraku, Kikyo seemed to come to the realization, that there was something going on, that both she and Kagome were needed for, what though, she did not know. "Kagome, have you willingly come to me child?" "Hell no! I just can't and wont let you any closer to Kikyo!" "Why? What reason could you ever have to protect her? Hm? Why protect his miko?" "...Truthfully I have no clue, but I do know that this war is not going to end the way that you think it will! I wont let it!" Kagome noticed Kikyo beside her, "What is going on? What war? Kagome, tell me what war you are referring to?" "The war between the Maiden of heaven and the Maiden of hell." Naraku spoke. "The maiden of heaven and the maiden of hell. Twin sisters, born to a heavenly maiden and a human at the time, but now a hanyou." "Kagome, I asked you, but he interrupted," Kagome sighed, "This one time and only this time, I must agree with Naraku. We are not the girls we thought we were. The woman, Sunali, the body behind him, she was mother...to us both." "To cut it short?" "You and I are the maidens of heaven and hell Naraku is referring to and we are twin sisters, seperated at birth, many years ago. For a very good reason." "What would that be?" "This moment right now. To save this world that we were born into and lived in up until this day." "Why would I want to save this world? Was this not the world that claimed my life?" "Being the maiden of hell, you can never die Kikyo and are always protected by both heaven and hell, due to your birth right." "I see, so, you are saying that in order to save this world, you and I would have to team up and kill Naraku? Am I right?" Kagome nodded slightly, "Yes, but that is not all." "What else?" "We would have to sacrifice our lives in order to kill Naraku and save the world...are you prepared to do that?" "...Are you? Are you prepared to die just to save this world?" Kagome turned to her friends and Inuyasha, and smiled, "Mhm, I am prepared to risk everything in order to protect the world that my friends live in." "Hm...what happens if I refuse?" "This world will perish and anyone that you and I cared for and loved you perish along with it. I don't like that this is what must be done, but I have come to except it and have come to terms with it. Now you need to make your decision, and I think it's be best to make it fast...no pressure though." "Of course not." Kagome caught her bow and arrows that Inuyasha had tossed, knowing that she'd need them and she caught another set and held it out fr Kikyo. "It's your choice Kikyo. No one is going to force you to choose." Kikyo took the bow and arrows, while Kagome turned back to Naraku; arrow strung to her bow. "Ah, so now that battle begins, does it Kagome?" Kagome shot the arrow, striking his right arm, "ARGH!" "Fucking right asshole."
"You bitch! I'll make you pay for that!" "Oh, please, like I'm afraid of you." "You'd do well to become fearful of me little girl!" "Oh? Why? Cause you're the evilest thing to ever breath this world's air? Oh wow, so scared...whoops." Kagome dodged a tentacle, "Missed me, loser!" "You should learn to be more respectful of your elders girly..." "Fuck you. To me you're nothing, but a loser with the thought that if he had control of all three worlds, that he'd be invincible...fuck you on that one." Naraku dodged an arrow as it sailed over his head, just grazing his scalp. "Argh! That thing burned!" "Good, feel the sting of heaven you piece of shit that heaven and hell shit out of their asses!" "My, my, what a mouth on you. Surly your parents taught you better manners then that." "Oh, I was taught my manners, but towards you...I use no manners at all. You don't deserve to be spoken to nicely!" Kagome shot another arrow and hit his shoulder. "BITCH!" "Yep, that's me, Kagome the bitch at your service you filthy snake!" Kagome did a backflip to avoid another tentacle. She thanked her school for having such great gym classes. She got back into fighting position, and shot another arrow, this time he dodged it and snatched Kagome up with a tentacle. "Ha! You're mine now you bitch!" "Fuck you!" Kagome shouted and desperately tried to escape, but his hold was far too tight. "Go ahead, miko, try as you like, you'll never escape, ooh and that wiggling and squirming is such a turn on...owwww!" Kagome had jabbed an arrow, that she had up her back. She jabbed it into the tentacle, which made it vanish and she was free. "You damn girl!" Kagome was about to string another arrow, but Naraku took this moment to strike. Kagome winced, waiting for him to hit, but nothing happened. Kagome looked to see Kikyo now in front of her, her bow recently fired. "Ki...Kikyo..." "I do not know if what you told me was true, however I agree that this fight with Naraku has gone on long enough and I have died before, death itself is not to fear." "So...you'll help save this world?" "I shall." Kagome smiled and with bows in their hands, shot both a flamed arrow and an arrow of light. Both became surrounded by a white light as it struck Naraku. Kagome looked at Kikyo, "This last one will be the one to take all of our strength, you know that right?" "So, this will not only kill us, but him as well?" Kagome took her hand, "It will because we will become the arrows." Kagome said and in a flash of light everyone watched them become glowing beings of white light. Inuyasha couldn't take his eyes off of Kagome, and in the last moment of Kagome's life, she heard him say the words she'd dreamed him to say. She smiled and sped forward into her death. "Kagome...I love you." Was the last words that Kagome heard before her life ended along with the war that had been going on for centuries. The war between the maidens of heaven and hell. The war between the twin sisters, Kikyo and Kagome.
